About SEN
The SEN identity does not attempt to represent networking literally.
Instead, it captures the feeling of being inside a curated circle of influence. Meaningful relationships are not linear — they are layered, dynamic, and selectively connected.
Philosophy
Proximity Over Volume
SEN is not about the size of the room. It is about the quality of who is in it. We believe that the most powerful professional relationships are built through genuine connection, not transactions.
Every gathering, every introduction, every conversation is designed with intention — to create the conditions where trust develops naturally and real opportunities emerge.
Values
How We Show Up
Win-Win
Every relationship should create value in both directions.
Give to Get
The most connected leaders are the most generous with their time and expertise.
Quality Over Quantity
A smaller circle. A stronger signal.
Authenticity
No pitching, no posturing. Just real conversation between real leaders.
Founder
Brittany Baumgarten
Brittany founded The Social Executive Network from a simple observation: the most successful executives she knew built their careers on relationships, not resumes. Since 2017, she has been bringing leaders together across retail, commerce, technology, and beyond — creating spaces where authentic connection drives real business outcomes.
Today, SEN connects 25,000+ leaders globally through intimate gatherings, roundtables, retreats, and experiences designed to feel less like conferences and more like the best dinner party you have ever attended.
